One thing to check is /var/log/secure.  Figure out
whether your connection refused is coming from 
your machine or someplace before it gets to your
machine.  This may provide some clues.

Also, if using port 22 works, you might consider going
back to port 22 and using /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny
to limit what IP addresses can get to your machine. 
There is a plethora of discussions on this list on various
ways to accomplish this.  Changing the port number 
reminds me too much of the Micro$oft security by
obfuscation technique.
